[QUOTE="Villano, post: 2548075, member: 505"] Highlander, King Kong (the 70's remake), and The Matrix were three films that didn't need sequels since they ended in a way that makes it obvious the filmmakers had no plan in place for doing so (Kong [B]died[/B] at the end of his film). Also, John Carpenter didn't intend to bring back Michael Meyers beyond Halloween 2, so they should have left him dead for the sequels. Gone With The Wind (there was a made-for-tv sequel), Amityville Horror, The Ring, and Jaws also really didn't need sequels. Although, to be fair, I've heard that the original plan was for Jaws 2 to follow Richard Dreyfuss's character. Considering he was a marine biologist (or whatever), having him encounter another killer aquatic creature (since the title is just "Jaws", it doesn't have to be a shark) would have at least had some logic behind it. And there are lots of bad sequels. I could have lived without Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, the SW prequels, Ghostbusters, Blues Brothers, the Next Gen Trek movies, and anything after the first Batman (I haven't seen Batman Begins, yet, so I'm not including that). Then there's a special type of sequel that shouldn't have been made because it seems like the movie is set in a totally different universe than the original. Beastmaster, Deathstalker, Django (western anti-hero turned "Rambo" for the official sequel), Black Mask, The Howling, and Chronicles Of Riddick. Highlander 2 also falls into this category. Personally, I would have liked a sequel to The Sword & The Sorcerer. Admit it, when you were a kid and saw a sequel announced in the end credits, you wanted to see it. :) [/QUOTE]
